The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-10-16

Saturday night tall, fair, suave and aris-
tocratic-looking Englishman paid his lOc at
the door and strolled into the bUildlng with
the manner of man who is seeing the
sights of the town He was a Londoner
and unmistakably British from the tips OF
his sturdy boots and COG skin gloves TO tne
crown of his CookseV hat. His face was
ford and he stared about him through a
single glass with the mingled air of hauteur,
arrogance and acute disapproval OF the
world in general which belongs exclusively
to the natives of the sturdy little Kingdom
across the sea. Thousands of Irish eyes
were turned on the arrival MS he surveyed
the mob and not friendly glance came
from any of them. The Briton moved Tor
ward, and the crowd parted snrlily for him
to pass. A girl, who had observed the ar
rival from one of the booths, jumped to the
floor at this point, made her way rapidly
through the crowd to the EDglishman, and
stepping in front of him placed her arms
akimbo and looked up in his face,
She was typical New York glrl from the
East side of town, plump, pert, pretty ana
serene Her big, gray Irish eyes stared up
at the visitors face with wonderful express
siveness. and he looked down at them
amusedly
II know what you want MUD" said
the girl, softly.
"What do I want, m'lady:" asked Che
Englishman
~ want what kin give y'u an what'll
make " happy ferevermore-a buful PIC.
ture t. cheer y'u in yer hours OF gloom an
misery"
"A picture of this person, McGlynn"
"Nixie, mlud," said the girl with,a grin
that showed Two glitterlng rows OF white
teeth IA picture 50 buful that countless
Thousands has stood in front of it an gasped
fer ioy because it was so lu'vly."
She evidently knew the power of her
magnificent eyes, for she kept them firmly
fixed on her victim. He looked into them
and was lost Every light in the building
was mirrored in their shining depths and
when the Englishman took a IS bill from
his pocket and thrust it into the hard little
fist of his fair tormentor-she was work
ing girl-he said softly:
My deah, Pm just completing four
yeahs' tour Of tn world"
Are your interrupted the girl gently, as
the color began to rise slowly in her face,
''an' did y see many purity young ladies"
II have seen no end of them, but not a
single one approached girl I've just met
in New York. Her eyes are superb and she
has the most beautiful face / have ever
SEEM
He looked down at her very hard, while
her face crimsoned and she said in the same
gentle and confidential tones she had used
before:
as it my face?"
at is. 1t is picture"
"Of course it IS" said the girl, quickly;
''it's TIL picture / was tellin' y about. tits
worth S. t look at it."
Its worth it a dozen times over.n
'"Then we're both of us satisfied" she
said, shaking hands with the tall stranger
half nervously but smiling all the time,
IAN " can be pleased wild yerself for y've
given good money in a good cause"
She scampered away to give the money
to the Treasurer, and the Englishman with
a final look at her turned on his heel and
left the building Kindly glances were shot
at him this time, and the crowed parted
politely for him to pass.
l'll wager fall pippin that the most vivid
and enjoyable memory he Will ever have of
America win call to mind the beautiful girl
in the Madison Square Garden who begged
for charity's sake. The fair is great success.
1t embraces every conceivable scheme for
the acquisition of wealth, but the most i'm
portant point of all it booms Henry George
and Dr. McGlynn The labor struggle goes
on apace and all these schemes assist it, but
the pitch of the whole movement has been
lowered by the arrival of kearney, the sand
lot orator, and the mouthings of the An
archists and Socialists who are grinding
their personal axes with feverish energy.
Labor will have a tough time before 1t gets
through with these leecnes.
